Clay Plume opened the scoring with a wrister at 9:29 of the first period that beat Americans Goaltender Chris Whitley to give Bossier-Shreveport a 1-0 lead.

Nino Musitelli scored with just :15 seconds remaining in the first frame to tie the game at one. Justin DaCosta slid into the zone and found Musitelli back door who drove the net and beat ‘Bugs Goaltender John DeCaro to the short side.

With the score tied at one, Bossier-Shreveport scored at 9:50 of the second period with a Jeff Kyrzakos tally from in front of the net. The tide would then change in Allen’s favor when Shawn Limpright took a double-minor for high sticking at 8:03 of the second.

Colton Yellow Horn scored first on the power play to tie the game at two. Circling at the blue line, Yellow Horn threw a shot on net that alluded DeCaro high to the glove side. Just over 90-seconds later, Dave Bonk fired home a slap shot from the point to make it a 3-2 game. Just under 90-seconds after Bonk lit the lamp, Bruce Graham scored on a shot from a wicked angle to chase DeCaro from the net and give Allen a 4-2 lead.

In the third period, after Whitley had made several huge saves to keep the game at 4-2, Kyrzakos scored again to bring the ‘Bugs to within one.

Colton Yellow Horn made a huge play to ice the game with :7 seconds left, stealing the puck from Jamie Milam and going in to put the puck in the empty net, securing a 5-3 result.
